Warmer sounding Solid State
I have been leaning towards the Parasound P6 paired with my modest Adcom 535ii then upgrading to a more legitimate power in the future.I did look into the Musical Fidelity M3i as well.  I like the idea of a completely analog unit.  No DAC, dedicat... 
Cambridge 851A vs Marantz PM8006
Looks like I might end up with both.  I will report back which one sounds better with the Oberons.

Never heard of Decware.  I’ll check it out. 
Cambridge 851A vs Marantz PM8006
Dali Oberon 5’s (On order.  Should be here in a few days).  Apple Airport Express and Teac UD-301 DAC.  Maybe I will just order each one.  Just seems like a shame to buy and return/sell. I am leaning towards the Marantz and would only go for the C... 
Cambridge 851A vs Marantz PM8006
***Not more powerful than the Cambridge, but more powerful than it is stated at 70W into 4ohms.

Not that it’s related to Black Friday, but Upscale Audio is still selling the Musical Fidelity M2Si at $599 which I’m told is a phenomenal price.   
Cambridge 851A vs Marantz PM8006
My mistake.  Yea it looks like the Cambridge is almost double the power than the marantz.  It’s just that so many people say the PM8005 is modestly rated and is actually more powerful.  Good to know that the Cambridge is neautral though.  That helps.

Thanks.  I like Moon Safari better, but I thought it was a perfect name for this site back when I signed up.   
Marantz PM8006 vs NAD C375BEE
What is it with people on these forums constantly suggesting gear that is significantly more expensive than the OPs listed options and budget? 
Technical Network Streamer Question
To simplify the question...I am looking at the Yamaha WXC-50, Bluesound Node 2i, Cambridge CXN and Marantz NA6005.  I would really like to go with the Yamaha simply for the price, but if I am using a separate DAC am I really missing much? 
All-in-one streamer/amp with HT bypass?
I wish there were more all in one options out there for this.  The Parasound P6 and Hint 6 have HT bypass and subwoofer management, but not streaming.The Peachtree Nova 150 and 300 have HT bypass and a "Coming soon" streaming attachment of some ki... 
Parasound Halo P
DAC in the P6 is identical to the Hint 6 Integrated.  Actually, according to the owner the entire preamp section in the Hint 6 IS the P6.  They are the same preamp, the Hint just has a power amo section.Also the same DAC used in the new Peachtree ... 
Which Budget HT Bypass Option?
The PS looks pretty nice.  I think it will be a few weeks before I make a decision. 
marantz pm8006 vs peahtree nova 150.
I’d love to go with the Peachtree because it is so much more exciting, and in the end I will probably buy one over the Marantz, but I feel it deserves a mention that I’ve read as many as 5 circumstances where customers had problems with their Nova... 
marantz pm8006 vs peahtree nova 150.
From what I’ve read it seems to me that the Marantz PM8005 is a very well built solid amplifier that is very much so a “traditional” amp.  The Peachtree Nova 150 on the other hand is very unconventional with it’s class D amp, bult in DAC and speci...
